Harvard University is doing away with overdue book fines … because they might stress out students.

No joke.

Students used to have to pay a whopping 50 cents for every day a book is late.

But one Harvard official explained that these fines are causing stress for students, so they’re getting rid of them to help students “focus on their scholarship, rather than worrying about renewing library books every 28 days.”
